Sandblasted kidneys restored

810DB038-ADA4-4AAD-90FA-BDFA88F35979.jpeg So while putting repainted car back together decided to have a go at the sandblasted kidneys. Worst case I ruin them and have to fork out the 700.00 for a new pair so worth a shot. Started out with a good dawn cleaning then started to sand . First with 320,...

Re: Historic cars and Historic Bridges ('86 Down Under)

Alpina’s look great on the red with black centers.
Are those aftermarket 17” open lug?
Been trying to find way to convert my original closed lug Alpina’s with center caps to open like yours but center caps are a problem.

Re: Side mirror trim

Got the plate with the adhered glass off by prying gently with trim tool till the four round pegs came free. Still the plastic cover seems unmovable. No release from inside as you can see. I can wedge it off a bit from painted cover but something is holding it down. There has got to be some kind of ...

Really helps seeing how things are connected before starting pulling pushing twisting. Most Things are pretty brittle on a 30+/- yr car.

Re: Refinished strut bar brackets, powder coated not chrome!

Just checked my cable bracket and it does clear the red steel bar I obtained from Walloth & Nesh by a very small margin.
I did have a RD bar on another 88M6 and did not have any problems with that one either.

If I remember correctly , there are 3 screws behind door weatherstripping , just pull back to expose them. I believe that’s all fasteners. Just wiggle it out if I remember.
